I live in Austria but my parents are from Turkey, so lemme speak for Turkey:
First of all, I dont think joining the EU would really benefit them, I mean sure it has its positive aspects but I think the negative ones overweigh them.
And Turkey itself is a mess right now

They need a new president, Erdogan is having a midlife crisis or sth
Turkey could've joined in 2011/12 tho. Their economoical state was & is better a lot of the EU members. EU has something against Turkey so I dont see them joning anytime soon anyways.
EU is actually an economic association (which a lot of people dont know

) so I wouldn't mind any state with a good economy joining it.
